My review of Collinite 476S
9 oz metal can, paid $15.10
One vehicle I put it on had Klasse Sealer Glaze on and was a Light Bronzemist Metallic. One vehicle had Klasse Sealer Glaze with a coat of P21S and it is a Dark Teal Green Metallic. The last car was just washed, clayed, and polished with Menzerna Final Polish 2, and is black.
Applying on the first two the ambient temperature was below 70 degrees. It seemed like it took more effort to apply it on these because of the relatively cool temperature and because they already had a very slick final product already applied. The black car seemed to take the wax easier because it had just been polished and the ambient temperature was over 75 degrees. In both cases the wax was removed effortlessly. I did roughly two 2x2 panels going back to the first panel and removing. Basically letting it start to haze over before removing.
I think the finished result was very glassy looking on the two lighter cars. Very impressive. The black car is another story. The look was also a deep glassy and shiny look and looked very good in the shade. When I got it out under the sun I could see some spots that looked like swirl marks. A little spritzing with a QD’r seemed to clear it up. It reminded me of my faded memory of the old Simonize wax finish. I tried capturing the look with a camera, but it just didn’t show it. I wished I’d had time to apply a different wax to different panels so I’d have some better comparison. I don’t know that the swirls weren’t there after polishing, but I don’t think so. I used a PC to apply the FP2. The wax was applied by hand.
As a winter preservative I think it’s going to be just fine. For the summer season I think I’d rather use P21S or just the SG. I’ll reserve my final evaluation after seeing how it holds up over time.
